dEfiNiTiONS

For the purposes of answering questions 6.7 to 6.12, the following information provides guidance on actions which may constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, or terrorist activities.

This guidance is not exhaustive. The full definitions of war crimes, crimes against humanity and geno-cide can be found in Schedule 8 of the International Criminal Court Act 2001 at www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/17/schedule/8 or purchased from The Stationery Office (telephone 0870 600 5522). It is your responsibility to satisfy yourself that you are familiar with the definitions and can answer the questions accurately on behalf of yourself and any dependants who are applying with you.

War crimesGrave breaches of the Geneva Conventions committed during an armed conflict. This includes an inter-nal armed conflict and an international armed conflict. The types of acts that may constitute a war crime include wilful killing, torture, extensive destruction of property not justified by military necessity, unlawful deportation, the intentional targeting of civilians and the taking of hostages.

crimes against humanityActs committed at any time (not just during armed conflict) as part of a widespread or systematic attack, directed against any civilian population with knowledge of the attack. This would include offences such as murder, torture, rape, severe deprivation of liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law and enforced disappearance of persons.

genocide Acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.

Terrorist activitiesAny act committed, or the threat of action, designed to influence a government or intimidate the public and made for the purposes of advancing a political, religious or ideological cause and that involves serious violence against a person; that may endanger another person’s life; creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public; involves serious damage to property; is designed to seriously disrupt or interfere with an electronic system.

Organisations concerned in terrorismAn organisation is concerned in terrorism if it commits or participates in acts of terrorism; prepares for ter-rorism; promotes or encourages terrorism (including the unlawful glorification of terrorism); or is otherwise concerned in terrorism.
